I'm working on a PT Crusier that will be flat black. I want to go with a "leather-looking" interior but I'm afraid that the doors and dash areas will look out of place if it's all the leather look. Any ideas on dash, door and seat color? On a side note, What's the best way to remove chrome from plastic? (wheels)

What's the best thing to use for wiring and plumbing. I have a 56 Ford pickup that I'm working on and want to plumb and wire the engine for added detail. Thanks.

Wondering if anyone has tried brushing on paint instead of spraying. I've experimented on some old parts and find that with a good brush it will go on pretty smooth. Also, if I decide to spray acrylic through an airbrush, is there anything that should be done different with preparation (sanding, primer, etc) from regular enamels? Thanks
